Who is it For?
Public sector institutions (ministries of health, supply chain agencies), universities with logistics programs, and large international NGOs with proven experience in health supply chain strengthening in low-resource settings. Previous experience working with UNICEF is an advantage.
Priorities
The donor prioritizes system strengthening for last-mile delivery, cold chain management, digital supply chain tools, and workforce training. Projects should focus on sustainable improvements and knowledge transfer.
Eligibility
Applicants must be legally registered entities with at least five years of experience in health supply chain management. They must provide evidence of past performance, audited financial statements, and a detailed technical proposal with clear methodologies.
Path to Success
GSLI's Procurement & Supply Chain course provides in-depth knowledge of logistics, inventory management, and procurement regulations.
